it's not good enough to go home and write out the next check for the obama campaign. but it's good enough for the obama campaign to believe that they have a slight wind at their backs. >> and one thing that's working for them, maggie, it does seem that voters have accepted kind of a mediocre economy? >> yeah, that's right. there's this new normal feeling. in that paradigm, the president is doing better. so, people feel their lives aren't great, mitt romney isn't offering an alternative. and i think that's the problem. >> maggie haberman mentioned this right track/wrong track, you have seen coming into this year, some thought we were going in the wrong direction, now it's coming down below 60% in some polls, it leads to a question, do people really think things are getting better or adjusting their views to conform with their votes? >> i disagree with maggie. i don't think this is the new normal at all. if you look at barack obama's accomplishments they're pretty compelling. he took over when this economy was in free-fall. mitt romney's argument is, we should go back t
